Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love to watch biographical movies. I bought this movie with this in mind and it did not let me down. The lead actor (cannot remember his name) was excellent. He could of easily won for best actor for an academy award. Nelson Mandela led a great life and this movie only contributed to a better understanding of him. I would highly recommend this movie for its acting and its hopeful accuracy on this man's life.

Overall not a bad movie. You get a great history lesson in an entertaining package for the most part. There are a few places where it drags, and it's not as memorable as other movies, but it was good.

The film was inspirational, just like the man and woman themselves. Idris Elba as Nelson and Naomie Harris as Winnie. Great acting dispite the back drop of aparteid. You will need to set aside two and a half hours to watch it.

My wife and I were not able to see this movie in our local movie theater and am happy we were able to purchase it at a good price from BestBuy and am looking forward to watching it as often as we want.

This movie shows the history of South Africa and how blacks were treated in those days. Nelson Mandela over came the prejudice leadership to become president of South Africa. From the bottom to the top, what a story. Must see...

If you want to watch a pretty accurate movie on the life of Nelson Mandela this is probably the one you want. The cinematography is Good and you just can't go wrong with Morgan Freeman

I was not fund of the story and writing. It was way too subjective and biased. The acting was good, but, not impressed with the directing and writing.

It was a very good movie the Dcf was of good quality it played well. I would recommend this movie to a friend and to but only from best buy

I hope it's an accurate depiction. Beyond that, I am typing only because Best But requires a minimum number of characters in a review.

First of all I love true stories, and this one was well done.Althrough this movie was almost 3 hours long, you never got bored. At the end it leaves you wanting more.

Could have been better, but overall a good movie. Was able to learn a little more about Mandela through this movie. R.I.P Mediba.

I'm glad I was able to get this movie on sale. Theater tickets, and DVR are excessive. I enjoy having my personal copy to watch as often as I'd like.

Idris Elba, who is a great actor more than does justice to the title role. The story it tells is of Mandela the man.

I thought that this movie was excellent. An excellent movie about an excellent man. The actors both who played Mandela and Winnies were great

Movie very informative & descriptive.... The plot is good & very much noticed during the movie.....

Good actors,good plot. Emotional movie as well. Found out something I didn't know about Mandela .

Another great transformation into an Icon by an actor. Idris Elba well done on becoming Mandela and telling his life story.

Great historical movie I would recommend to anyone looking to find out more about Mandela

Mandela is an important figure in history, and I most certainly HAD to add this one to my home collection.
